However, for Lin Yi, once the Soul Searching Technique was used, it would be equivalent to a disaster. No one could save him in this situation, not even Shanghai Laner.
Although Shanghai Laner was a young miss, once it involved the powerful people present, her words might not be that effective, unless her grandfather, Shanghai Tianhua, personally came forward. However, as the dignified Pavilion Master of Soaring Sky Pavilion, how could Shanghai Tianhua stand up for Lin Yi, a nobody from Blue Cloud Pavilion?
If it really didn't work, they could only try to create chaos and escape. Compared to being discovered by the Soul Searching Technique, this would give them a slim chance of survival.
At this moment, a familiar girl's voice suddenly sounded from behind them, "Lin Yi is this lady's savior, who dares to use the Soul Searching Technique on him?"
Following the appearance of the person, everyone's eyes instantly focused on her. Even a legendary figure like Ram Jie was only slightly inferior. The person who came was the main character of this birthday banquet, Shanghai Laner.
Lin Yi's heart immediately relaxed. As long as the Soul Searching Technique was not used, Shanghai Laner came forward to help him, so it would still be effective. Even if Nan Tianba and the others wanted to punish him, they probably wouldn't dare to go against the will of this young miss on this day.
However, the reaction of Nan Tianba and the others was beyond Lin Yi's expectations.
"Young Miss Shangguan, even if this Lin Yi is your savior, he could also be the real murderer who killed this seat's third brother. There is no conflict between the two. Pavilion Master Shangguan had personally ordered for this matter to be investigated. Does Young Miss want to let your grandfather's order become empty words?" Nan Tianba said forcefully.
After joining hands with Xu Yuanzheng, who was behind Xu Lingchong, their side was already very clear. Since the background had nothing to do with Shanghai Tianhua, then there was naturally no need to care too much about a little girl like Shanghai Laner.
"This … Lin Yi …" In a hurry, Shanghai Laner didn't know what to say.
Shanghai Laner could only helplessly look at Lin Yi. She wanted to help Lin Yi out of this predicament, but this place was not like the ordinary law enforcers she had faced in the Law Enforcement Hall last time. Instead, it was Nan Tianba, who had an extraordinary status. If he could not stand on his feet, then even she, the eldest daughter of the Shangguan Family, would be helpless.
Although she sometimes behaved like a willful and ignorant little girl, when it came to important matters related to her grandfather, Shangguan Tianhua, she would never take it lightly. At this time, if she said something wrong, it could be used as a pretext by others, which would affect her grandfather's image and status. This kind of thing had happened a lot in the past.
Lin Yi gently shook his head at Shanghai Laner. He signaled her not to say too much. After all, she was still a little girl. At this time, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. Instead of being bullied by the other side, it was better to wait and see.
Seeing that Shanghai Laner was choked by his words, Nan Tianba and the others couldn't help but look at each other with a smile. Then, he said to Ram Jie, "Hall Master Ram, you are the number one person in charge of the Three Great Pavilions' punishment. Right now, the real suspect, Lin Yi, is right in front of you. If you just ignore him like this, I feel that it is quite inappropriate. What do you say? "
With just a few words, the situation was completely under Nan Tianba's control. It could be seen that this guy was not as rough as he looked on the surface, and that fiery and brainless.
Lin Yi could only secretly be on guard. Things had suddenly developed to this point, and even if Shanghai Laner personally came forward, she still wouldn't be able to help him out of this predicament. It was really a bit difficult to get off the tiger. Right now, he could only take one step at a time.
However, at this time, Ram Jie glanced at Nan Tianba. He said indifferently, "Nan Tianba, when did it become your turn to teach me what I need to do?"
With just one simple sentence, Nan Tianba and the others, who were originally complacent, suddenly had their faces collapse.
They were so numb that they were confused by this arrogant brat that they forgot that Ram Jie wasn't someone they could casually order around. If they really pointed fingers at Ram Jie and violated Ram Jie's taboo, Lin Yi would probably be fine. Instead, they would be the ones facing a disaster.
Moreover, the reason why Nan Tianba's case didn't make any progress at all was actually the result of Ram Jie's incitement. He felt that this case wasn't important, so no one would investigate it. Naturally, there wouldn't be any results.
Therefore, when Nan Tianba's words fell into Ram Jie's ears, it was the same as reprimanding him for not doing his job. With Ram Jie's arrogance, it would be strange if he nodded his head!
"Uh … No …" Nan Tianba hurriedly tried to explain. However, before he could explain, Ram Jie suddenly stood up without any warning. An incomparably majestic and overbearing aura instantly pressed down on top of his head.
Nan Tianba was caught off guard. His knees went soft and he almost knelt down in front of everyone. He forcefully clenched his teeth and supported his body. However, Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe, who were behind him, didn't have this kind of strength. With a "putong" sound, their knees hit the floor and they spat out blood.
"No? Is it your fault, or is it my fault? " Ram Jie coldly glanced at him, then said meaningfully: "This is just a small warning for you. I don't have that much patience, and I'm too lazy to care about this bullshit. As for the question I asked you before, give me an answer within three days. Otherwise, you should be very clear about the consequences."
After saying this, Ram Jie stood up and left, leaving the crowd with an unruly and domineering back.
This person was truly extraordinary! Even Lin Yi couldn't help but admire him. To be honest, a man as tyrannical and arrogant as Ram Jie was rarely seen in this world.
However, what made Lin Yi even more curious was the matter between Ram Jie and Nan Tianba. In such a short period of time, it seemed like this was the second time he had mentioned it.
"Hehe, this time you've kicked an iron plate on the Cold-Faced Ghost. Serves you right!" Shanghai Laner rejoiced in their misfortune. As for the Little Curly Bear that came along with her and was currently hanging on Lin Yi's neck, it swaggered its claws at Nan Tianba and the others.
Nan Tianba's face turned ashen from anger, but he couldn't do anything. He could only let out a cold snort and silently pulled Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe up from the ground.
After all, this was Shangguan Laner's birthday banquet. Because he was the one in the right, he couldn't be blamed for not giving this missy any face. However, if he dared to throw a tantrum now, it would be too much. If this matter were to fall into Shangguan Tianhua's ears, he would definitely suffer the consequences.
